Bail increased for Texas officer accused in teen's death
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A judge has increased the bail for a suburban Dallas police officer who shot and killed a teenage burglary suspect and wounded another boy while off duty.
The judge on Monday raised Farmers Branch Officer Ken Johnson's bail to $300,000. Johnson was arrested Wednesday on murder and aggravated assault charges in the March 13 shootings in Addison. He posted $150,000 bond and left jail the next day.
Brittany Dunn, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County district attorney's office, says Johnson won't be arrested again if he posts bond to cover the higher amount in the next few days.
